Oscar Forbes pulls Rachel aside and tells her Earl Sullivan is trying to ruin the hotel and humiliate him. He then tells Rachel to confront Earl and Greg Oliver. Rachel arrives at the marina and Greg tells her Sandra Kane drowned and she asks him if he has been dropping bait in front of the hotel she works at. She then tells him, he and Earl are banned from the hotel for good by Oscar. Rachel has dinner with Tourist 1. The next day, Rachel takes Tourist 1 out to a secluded beach for a picnic. She tells him Iris Lee is going to be coming to the island that day. While Tourist 1 is photographing Rachel, he is attacked by an unseen animal and killed. She returns to the hotel and walks into the kitchen and tells Oscar, Tourist 1 is dead and he tells her not to worry about calling the police or telling the guests. She tells Nieberg that Tourist 1 was killed and Earl tells Nieberg he has a drowning to report. David Whiting walks up to Rachel and Greg and asks them to describe what they saw and then tells Rachel he will come and see her later. Harry tells Rachel he found a human arm and Greg asks him to show him where he found it. Rachel, Greg, and Harry get onto a glass bottom boat and leave to hunt the Monster Fish. They are at the location where Harry found the arm when they are attacked by the Monster Fish which smashes their boat. David and Nieberg arrive in their boat and save Rachel and Greg by pulling them onto their boat. Greg, Nieberg, Rachel and David head towards the bay and tell everyone to get out of the water. A Newsman asks Rachel if she was part of the cover up. David brings a poster to the hotel advertising a fishing competition for the Monster Fish and Rachel says she is closing the resort. Greg gets onto David's boat with Rachel to help catch the Monster Fish alive. David shows Rachel and Greg the tranquilizer gun he has. David is attacked by the Monster Fish and Greg drags him onto the boat, but he dies. Greg ties plastic charges around the body of David and then throw it into the water, despite Rachel telling him it isn't right. They then tie the body to a line and drag it as they drive the boat. The Monster Fish takes David's body as bait and disconnects the line and Greg has to go back into the water to try and reconnect it with David's helper. David's helper is killed, but Greg manages to connect the line and blow the charge, killing the Monster Fish. Rachel jumps into the water and she and Greg kiss.
